Southwestern's academic atmosphere, dorm and social life and extracurricular activities can ... http://www.southwestern.edu/studentsviews/archives/11 A Boy and His Soul closed.  It was both sad and wonderful.  It was by far Colman Domingo's best performance and the audience was there for him the whole way through.  Absolutely electric.  I am so very glad and (I'm about to use a word I never use) blessed to ... http://www.southwestern.edu/studentsviews/archives/267 This past Monday marked the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. To celebrate, German Club put together a paper wall, which we torn down at noon outside the Commons.
